Magic's Desmond Bane: Scores 21 points Friday
Bane fouled out of Friday's 107-99 victory over Milwaukee after recording 21 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes.
Bane turned in an efficient performance, particularly from beyond the arc, finishing as Orlando's second-leading scorer. Additionally, he tied his season high in steals. The 28-year-old wing has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings, averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 34.6 minutes per showing during that span.

Magic's Noah Penda: Remains without timetable
Penda (hamstring) is making progress but remains without a timetable to return to game action, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Penda suffered a partially torn hamstring in the preseason and can still be considered week-to-week moving forward. With the second-year forward and Paolo Banchero (ankle) both sidelined, Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain should continue seeing increased minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Rough shooting night Friday
Black posted five points (1-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 107-99 win over the Bucks.
Black remained in the starting lineup despite the return of Jalen Suggs, playing at least 31 minutes for the sixth straight game. Poor shooting resulted in arguably his worst performance of the season, although the fact that his playing time eclipsed 30 minutes should provide fantasy managers with a sense of reassurance. His role will likely start to reduce as Suggs works his way back into game shape, meaning the time to sell-high on Black is now.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Logs 21 minutes in return
Suggs notched three points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Friday's 107-99 win over the Bucks.
Suggs returned from an eight-game absence as a result of a knee injury, playing 21 minutes off the bench. Orlando is going to be very cautious when it comes to re-integrating Suggs, largely due to his lengthy injury history. He should be added in all leagues, although anyone rostering him should be prepared for a slow ramp-up.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Drops season-high 12 points
Bitadze amassed 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Friday's 107-99 victory over Milwaukee.
Bitadze played at least 15 minutes for the third straight game, scoring a season-best 12 points. He appears to have moved ahead of Nikola Vucevic in the rotation, which at least puts him on the radar in deeper leagues, as a potential source of blocks and boards.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Dominates with 35-point double-double
Wagner finished with 35 points (13-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 107-99 win over the Bucks.
Wagner delivered a sensational all-around performance, leading Orlando in scoring and assists while narrowly missing a triple-double. The versatile forward accounted for 25 of the Magic's 41 made field goals through his scoring and playmaking, highlighting his importance to the offense. Wagner continues to provide elite fantasy production across multiple categories, with Friday's outing showcasing his ability to contribute well beyond scoring.

Magic's Alex Morales: Heading to bench
Morales is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.
After making his first career start Wednesday in Utah, Morales is reverting back to his usual spot off the bench. He could struggle for playing time now that Jalen Suggs (knee) is back in the mix for the Magic.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Starting Friday
Da Silva will start Friday's game against the Bucks.
Jalen Suggs (knee) will come off the bench in his return to action, opening the door for da Silva to join the first unit in his return from a two-game absence due to a calf strain. Over his last five appearances (one start), the 25-year-old forward has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 31.8 minutes per showing.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Coming off bench
Suggs (knee) will come off the bench Friday against the Bucks.
Suggs hasn't played since Oct. 25, so the Magic will bring him along slowly for his first game back. That makes him a risky play outside of season-long formats. It's likely he's back in the starting lineup for the following game.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Available vs. Milwaukee
Suggs (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Bucks, according to Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com.
Suggs said he "will play" following Friday morning's shootaround, and the star guard has been cleared to do so, so he should move right back into the starting lineup in the backcourt. Suggs hasn't played since Oct. 25, and after an eight-game absence, he's likely to send Anthony Black or Alex Morales to the bench. Suggs is averaging 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in his first three appearances this season.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Available Friday
Cain (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Cain went through Friday's morning shootaround and is ready to go for game action. Now that Jalen Suggs (knee) is back in the lineup for the Magic, Cain's playing time could take a slight hit going forward.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Available Friday
Da Silva (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Bucks, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
After drawing a questionable tag and participating in Friday's morning shootaround, da Silva has been cleared to return from a two-game absence. Over his last five appearances (one start), the third-year forward has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 31.8 minutes per showing.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Goes through shootoarund
Cain (shoulder) participated in the Magic's morning shootaround and remains questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
With Cain still carrying a questionable tag after shootaround and his availability still unsettled heading into Friday, his participation in morning practice is a step in the right direction. Cain is averaging 7.0 points on 19.5 minutes per game this season.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Participates in shootaround
Da Silva (calf) participated in the Magic's morning shootaround and remains questionable for Friday's game against Milwaukee, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Da Silva has already missed multiple games due to the calf issue, but this is a step in the right direction. His participation in shootaround is a positive sign, but he'll still need to be cleared before Orlando can count on him for frontcourt minutes against the Bucks.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Remains questionable, but says he'll play
Suggs (knee) participated in the Magic's morning shootaround and remains questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. However, the veteran guard said he's on track to play.
With Suggs listed as questionable entering the day, his participation in shootaround is another positive sign in his recovery from the right knee bone bruise. He's trending in the right direction, but a final call on his availability will be made closer to tip-off.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Game-time call for Friday
Da Silva (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against Milwaukee.
Da Silva is in danger of missing a third straight game with a left calf strain. Alex Morales, Goga Bitadze and Jase Richardson would continue to see more opportunities if da Silva is unable to go Friday night.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Questionable for Friday
Cain (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.
Cain was unable to go Wednesday against the Jazz due to a shoulder injury, but it appears as though he'll have a chance to return in time for Friday's clash. The team should have another update on his availability closer to tipoff.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Upgraded to questionable for Friday
Suggs (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Milwaukee.
Suggs hasn't seen the court since Oct. 25 after suffering a right knee injury, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a clear sign he's trending in the right direction. However, he'll presumably need to clear a few more hurdles in shootaround and warmups to get the green light to suit up Friday night.
